Very well presented, thank you! Hats off to PMDG for raising the bar again, looks like a masterpiece.

[@Danimalpm1]

Great intro video! I could really feel your enthusiasm for the aircraft and the long haul planning procedures and it has me fired up for the release.

[@aarndub0760]

I could not sit still in my seat for this whole flight im to excited for the 777

[@americanneopilot]

Great to finally see the PMDG 777, so excited! To answer your question, Everett operates as a regional passenger airport as well. Alaska and Horizon operates regular flights to other US destinations like Los Angeles on their E175's and 737's . I was intrigued too when I discovered it on flightradar24.

[@Plumsouffle]

I love that everything paused for a second or two at 41:19 to let the truck drive through the front of the airport.

[@tgrx1901]

Thanks Emmanuel. There is no other KZbinr I would entrust my time to for a review like this. Professional, informative, insightful and entertaining as always.

[@kevincusack5671]

Amazing! Did NOT feel like 2 hours. Well done, Emi.

Can't wait to see that beautiful HUGE cabin filled with GSX passengers! I hope there will be also different layouts based on the company, but I do not think so. I will be very happy with it no matter.

[@mdhazeldine]

Lovely. I've flown on more 777s IRL than any other plane type bar the A320 family, so it's going to be real nice having this in sim. Lovely landing by the way! Very smooth.

[@IceViper777]

Thanks for the video. Are you planning on doing tutorial videos for the 777? I learned a lot about flying the PMDG 737 from you. Hoping you are going to continue the trend for the 777

[@A330Driver]

The first one will come out either later today or tomorrow!

[@ITMann]

Congratulations on your new delivery !!. Remember to wash and polish this after the flight and park carefully.

[@Sevlagoth]

Amazing airplane. Thank you for sharing it with us. For sure a must have for everyone’s collection. Amazing job on making 777 shine. Keep up the great work! 😊

[@growtogether]

GSX should add a 'welcome by fire brigade option' for flights like these. Thanks for the excellent review!

[@markgr1nyer]

The reason you had to click parking brake set at the end was because you didn't apply any brake pressure when setting the parking brake on with the realistic setting. Lovely video. Wish my PC could handle MSFS

[@A330Driver]

Yep 👍

[@vitormd1138]

That tiller at 1:15:57 came straight out of their P3D 777 LOL Disclaimer: I like the 777 and i'll probably buy this, but they can't come to us saying that they remade everything from the ground up HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

[@amirtak9886]

Good catch, I noticed too it is from the p3d version.

[@lha987]

Looks really wonderful! In the P3D days, flying the PMDG 777 feels like a dead rock, even a minor turn would let the plane‘s altitude drop tremendously fast. Looks like they fixed it on MSFS.

I can’t wait for the 777. Also did you ever do a tutorial where you did a go around and then followed the missed approach routes without any edited parts in it. Because after the go around i never get to see the next landing

What a beauty! Immediate purchase, when it releases. PMDG have outdone themselves again.

[@pilot.sergio4]

Excited for 777. Hope to see all these new features as well like RTE 2, updated EFB, and the updated LNAV 2.0 brought over to the 737 soon.

[@Scarebus_Driver]

Great summary video thanks for the effort. Hopefully Pmdg have added the numerous failures missing from the P3D version present in the real aircraft. The P3D version makes a decent training tool for sim prep hopefully this version can deal with the flight modelling issues in msfs to give us a tool useful for engine failure training etc to match the P3D handling. Some nice option addons which where long overdue 5 years ago seem to have made there was into this version thankfully. Great to see Pmdg bringing a much better comms system to the new 777 weather requests, cpdlc etc. Looks like a nice step forward from the P3D version! Thanks for the video!

[@CaptainKevin]

Alaska Airlines actually runs flights in and out of Everett, so that would explain why the Embraer is there, although I don't know why that one would be at the delivery ramp.

[@llamateur]

Thanks a lot! I am really looking forward to that aircraft and your video made me want to buy it even more. Gonna buy it right after release.

[@Richard_McDonald_Woods]

Thanks very much, Emi! Now the hopefully short wait for my B77F.

Didn’t realise this delivery flight video was a 2hr long .. Since watching it from India, It was nearly 1 am in morning and I was wondering how long is it?? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ElitistMagi]

That checklist blew my mind, das nice! xD Very nice music, the difference in how FLT CHG and other things work on the 777 compared to the 737 is very interesting! I might watch the stream a 2nd time to pick up on all the notes thank you so for sharing these and nice landing! I really wish there was a fire salute mod btw, maybe an idea for GSX lol

Thank you very much! All these small things will be in the tutorials in a couple days!

[@ElitistMagi]

@@A330Driver That's awesome Emi! thank you!

[@nekolivegaming]

Cant wait to fly it, And the time acceleration thing, i find it kinda funny, cuz i would be the type to literally sit down, have a buddy with me and do a 17 hour long haul, I do the take off, sit there for like 6 Hours, my buddy takes over while i do something else and sleeps for like 6-8 hours, then come back for TOD approach brief and landing 🤣, Only annoying thing is that im up north with my mom now so i want have access to my sim stuff when it releases lol, but oh well i can wait i think

[@frankkky7375]

hope we get gsx passengers soon with that amazing cabin

I really wish I could fly it over this weekend but oh well, there is always the next weekend xD Seeing this, I'm just drooling over thinking how the 747 is going to be eventually, holy moly xD and I really do hope the higher simulation options and a full cabin comes to the 73NGs eventually.

[@JohnnoRoskam]

Simply an amazing aircraft! Can't wait to fly this beauty on the long haul flights. For me, KLM most of all :D, I work as Ramp Agent at KLM and I really like the turnaround function on the UFT, with all the parties included. Very excited to work with this myself in the simulator. What a blessing to live in times like this.

[@A330Driver]

Let me know how you like the model and aircraft!

[@accentedpassingtone]

Hi! The E175 is there because that’s the regular airline service into Everett that AS operates

[@A330Driver]

But they do not park on the Boeing delivery ramp, right? There's a dedicated terminal for passenger operations.

[@accentedpassingtone]

I thought it was the same terminal building. I could be wrong. By the way, your videos are excellent. You are extremely knowledgeable and procedural.

[@benwhite2989]

OMFG IT LOOKS SO DOPE!!! I cannot effing wait

[@noah9130]

PMDG really impressed me with their 777!! It far exceeded my expectations!! However, don't get me wrong but the sound quality is terrible. I just can't recognise the GE90. This is unfortunate because sound plays a crucial role in immersion, and this aspect falls short for me

[@ruhaan6216]

That's what I've been thinking as well. Also, everytime I fly the 777 I notice that you can't hear engine sounds during cruise or even climb (aside from the rumble) if you're behind the wing which also ruins the immersion for me a bit

[@FlyTaylor]

Yeah same here, everything else is flawless but man we gotta get those correct ge90 sounds

[@matttodd4364]

Alaska airlines do flights from Everett using Embraer so maybe that explains why it’s there?

[@Aleksandar6ix]

Wow. 10 hours isn't much for a plane like this.....but with that light load, I was surprised by the V-speeds and optimum altitude. P.S. How did you time that music so perfectly? Was that luck? Beautiful song. Automatic time accelleration and step climbs existed in the P3D version, which is why this is an easy purchase for me.

[@fracl9369]

appreciate if next time u can display the realtime fps on the screen.. cheers

[@A330Driver]

They would have been 57 at all times. That's where I locked them as my monitor can only show 60.

[@felipeturbayr]

Looking forward to your classical high quality tutorials Emmi! 😊

[@massimonegro1457]

Cockpit is very nice, if Pmdg make the displays with mirror effect like Maddog MD80 the realism it would be perfect

[@A330Driver]

Boeing does their absolute best to remove that effect from the real displays. When i compare the Airbus to the Boeing, the effect barely exists in there. Not sure about the MD80.

[@737_Sim_pilot]

Wow emi, This is too awesome, I can’t wait to get my hand on it soon.

[@CyclingMessiah]

There seems to be a problem with random Pitch Down in the final approach. I also looks like your nose is dropping at 2:03:40. Can you test this? If you enable the FBW Reference in the PFD, the pitch down comes and the speed increases

[@lukasgraesslin]

Wow, I mean I'm an Airbus child all the way but the 777-300 is just gorgeous looking.

[@Trent-m1x]

Just one observation. Why do you place the overhead compartment on an angle. I’m a new flight simmer and it’s difficult to see what you are doing especially when you do not zoom in on the switches hope you would consider navigating the overhead panel on your next video

[@prokopdvere2318]

In 777 is very nice cabin, do you think they will redesign the cabin in 737s?

[@coochieman7887]

No

[@fluffy_Lunik]

I hope so. I was flying the PMDG b737 in the MSFS today, for a little compare. I think this will be nice if they redesign the interior, maybe some outside texuters (like fenix simulations airbus a320ceo update V2B2), but still, the plane is amazing, can't wait to fly b777 (this is great company with great planes)❤❤❤

[@yongchun2183]

Is there a way to let the plane's airspeed to go beyond 340 knots while at cruising altitude? Like setting it on the autopilot control section in the middle some sort

[@A330Driver]

Why would you want to do that? If you went full manual thrust, maybe.

[@Dilligence99]

Wooooooo!!!! Let’s go Emanuel

[@stefancraciun9630]

Hi! You said in this video that in some airlines pilots use the synoptic display to check the flight controls and in other airlines they don't, and i wanted to ask, if you don't use that display how do you actually know that the flight controls are moving when you move the yoke. And i also wonder how do pilots check the flight controls in other airplanes that do not have a synoptic display at all, such as the 737 variants who are not equipped with such a display.

[@A330Driver]

If the control surfaces don't move, the yoke will not move. It's FlyByWire, but the computers will ensure that there's a direct relationship on the ground.

ONe question I have is the Landing gear multiple points of cantact on landing or a single point of contact. The main gear.

[@danielstead6593]

One point physics wise. So it will be like landing a single wheel airliner, but they have worked some magic on the animation to make it look like its multiple points but its really not.

[@ggames9224]

hey man nice vid, theres a mod where the game hooks up both jetways to widebody aircraft such as the 777

[@renatoroberto]

Another trick... if you want to reduce the amount of time to check the coordinates, just "Press and Hold" the LSK of that coordinate, and the same information will appear in the box. Just delete the information after that.

[@j4cko56]

Check your upload settings, there is a ton of artefacting, looks like it's 720p!

What about the Cabin INT option? What is the real function of it in the sim?

[@DK-ov2kw]

Where is the external camera for taxiing, something that existed in P3D, and why didn't they use the EFB instead of the Tablet like in real life?
